Suppressor Maintenance Question

Suppressor Maintenance Question - 02/11/18 02:56 PM

I’ve been running a YHM Phantom for a couple of years and really haven’t done anything to it aside from some lube on the threads to keep it from seizing up. I’ve seen some videos and articles with people saying they’re putting lithium grease inside the suppressor. While it smokes a little on the first couple of shots, it helps with the suppression.

Is anyone doing this with their suppressors? Just want to make sure I’m not missing out on something to extend the life on my suppressor.

Wonder if lithium is another way to shoot “wet”. people sometimes put water in the can to help dampen sound.

Most people won’t be able to tell the couple of dB reduction. Besides sound reduction is one of the lowest priorities for me when it comes to cans


Repeatability, durability, and mounting system are all higher

YHM Care/Maintenance

If you scroll down in that link to page 4 YHM suggests soaking in Kroil Oil or something similar for an hour.
